Cougar Puberty! (a.k.a. Perimenopause/Menopause)

About this episode

Kristina and Amy discuss the unspoken challenges of perimenopause and menopause, emphasizing the importance of self-advocacy and support.

Kristina sits down with her friend Amy for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the things no one warns women about when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. From lesser-known (and rarely discussed) symptoms to the emotional and mental shifts that can feel confusing or isolating, they shine a light on what so many women experience but few openly talk about. With humor, candor, and compassion, they explore the importance of advocating for yourself, nand finding the right kind of support. This episode is about feeling seen, less alone, and more empowered to navigate this stage of life on your own terms.
